We are very grateful to the chauvinist newspaper *Volya Naroda*{112} for reprinting in its June 4 issue our documents concerning our passage through Germany{113}. From these documents it is evident that even at that time we acknowledged Grimm's conduct to be "ambiguous" and refused his services.

This is a fact, and one cannot evade facts.

And to the dark insinuations of *Volya Naroda* we reply: do not be cowards, gentlemen, accuse us openly of such-and-such a crime or misdemeanor! Try! Is it really so difficult to understand that getting rid of dark insinuations and fearing to come forward with an accusation under one's own signature — is dishonorable?
